As https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI/discussions/135#discussion-5859082 demonstrates:

https://onedrive.live.com/?v=managestorage reports that I have used > 909.3 GiB of 1.5 TiB Yet https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI reports > ![169.7 GiB](https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI/assets/42837531/b859092b-ed20-4bec-be70-3c2e83d0f61c) Does this mean that it shall solely synchronize some of my drive? Which parts?

...without clarification, this is not obvious.

The free space is reported by the OneDrive Client. Please run the AppImage from your terminal, start sync and copy/screenshot the reported free space.

Example: image

I wasn't aware that it was reporting free space - in that regard, it's almost definitely correct. I believed that it displayed how much was to be downloaded.

RokeJulianLockhart commented 9 months ago

This should be specified, although would warrant a new issue or a renaming of this one.

bpozdena commented 9 months ago

When you hover your mouse cursor over the value, it should explain what it means.

@bpozdena, that's unintuitive too. A button with the label “help” and a question mark icon would probably be superior to a hover.
